In short: Bruyneel about Andy Schleck and more

In English here: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/andy-schleck-to-ride-volta-a-catalunya

In short:

1. Andy Schleck is better and back on his bike

2. Next race is Volta a Catalunya
[March 19-25 ] and not the Critérium International.

3. No panic: “It’s early. He was in quite good condition – not at his peak, but
enough to do a good Paris-Nice." , “They’re still a long way off, in mid-April. Just because you’ve been
sick doesn’t mean that you lose everything you did beforehand"

4. Paris-Nice plann B: “We came here with ambitions for the general classification but
Andy was sick, we lost two other men [Jan Bakelants and Joost Posthuma –
ed.] and we only had [Maxime] Monfort in the right group on the second
day. That obliged us to limit our options for the GC, but I saw a team
that rode well together.”

5. Impressive Jens Voight: “At 40 years of age, to be capable of being motivated from the
start to the finish of a stage like that, it’s impressive"
